Good Wednesday Morning, Fellow Seekers. If you were home watching TV over the long holiday weekend, then the chances are pretty good you caught a slickly tailored ad touting Gov. Tom Wolf's accomplishments over his last three years in office and asked yourself, "Hey, where'd those come from?"

Wonder no longer.

The two spots are an early re-election season gift from an outfit called "America Works USA," which is a wing of the Democratic Governors Association, which exists mainly to, well, get Democratic governors re-elected.

"This is a significant buy on broadcast and cable in multiple media markets," Jared Leopold, a spokesman for the DGA said in an email. The ads began on Nov. 8 and are still running, he added.

The first spot (that's that one up there) is called "Independence" and features an older couple, Ron and Carol of Brentwood, Pa., discussing the importance of them staying in their home as they get along in the years.

"And now, thanks to Gov. Wolf, they will," a narrator cuts in, going to a montage of Wolf shaking hands with some senior citizens. "Gov. Wolf fought to expand home- and community-based, long-term services for seniors."

The second spot, "Better Future," opens with a montage of faces, including construction workers, an African-American woman, and an adolescent girl, as a narrator asks, "How do we build a better future for Pennsylvania?"

The new DGA ads also come as Wolf's would-be Republican challengers, York County state Sen. Scott Wagner; Allegheny County businessman Paul Mango;House Speaker Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, and Pittsburgh-area lawyer Laura Ellsworth rev up their own campaigns.

Mango, a former healthcare executive, has been airing advertisements of his own these last few weeks. Wagner, who is a hometown political rival to Wolf, has been running since, well, forever, it seems.

Ellsworth, who is well-known in GOP political circles, but largely unknown in the rest of the state, and Turzai, who's been in the General Assembly for two decades, is the most recent entant to the race.

The rest of the day's news starts now.

Ending weeks of speculation, state Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Montgomery, will enter the Democratic race for lieutenant govenror this morning.
